@Stefan: realbot plugin not reloading after mapchange FIX

Pierre-Marie Baty · **@Stefan: realbot plugin not reloading after mapchange FIX -** 13-03-2004

Our flying Dutchman might be interested in knowing that I happened to discover the fix to the many times reported problem of metamods plugin not reloading after a mapchange.

As usuals, it's one of these fixes you discover the day you aren't searching for it.

@Stefan: your RealBot plugin info structure must look somewhat like this:

Code:

plugin_info_t Plugin_info = {
   META_INTERFACE_VERSION, // interface version
   "RealBot", // plugin name
   "2.0", // plugin version
   __DATE__, // date of creation
   "Stefan Hendriks", // plugin author
   "http://realbot.bots-united.com/", // plugin URL
   "REALBOT", // plugin logtag
   PT_STARTUP, // when loadable
   PT_ANYTIME, // when unloadable
};

change it to something like this:

Code:

plugin_info_t Plugin_info = {
   META_INTERFACE_VERSION, // interface version
   "RealBot", // plugin name
   "2.0", // plugin version
   __DATE__, // date of creation
   "Stefan Hendriks", // plugin author
   "http://realbot.bots-united.com/", // plugin URL
   "REALBOT", // plugin logtag
   PT_CHANGELEVEL, // when loadable <-- FIX
   PT_ANYTIME, // when unloadable
};

The weird thing is that PT_STARTUP is still supposed to let the plugin reload after a map change. PT_CHANGELEVEL will work, only thing is that it could allow a user to hot-load the RealBot DLL without rebooting the server, that which I'm not sure it can happen without failure. But for normal usage, it's fine. The fault is metamod's isn't it, I wonder if I should send Will Day a bug report.

Maybe a "knowledge base" forum would be a good place to store such information until the wiki is available...

Someone should send a PR to these wiki guys... maybe this can be fixed in an upcoming release.

stefanhendriks · **Re: @Stefan: realbot plugin not reloading after mapchange FIX -** 02-04-2004
